The Sooners came ready to wrestle as the host school of the Big 12 Championships.  Head Coach Jack Spates called it "the absolute finest team performance I've ever been associated with."  All ten of the Sooner grapplers placed in the top three of the tournament.      Additionally, the Sooners upset their in-state rivals from Stillwater to capture the team title.  On their way to the title, Oklahoma wrestlers dominated their opponents capturing bonus points.  The Sooners had 12.5 bonus points; the next closest school in bonus points was the Cyclones with 6.  With the team title, the Sooners captured three individual titles.    Jared Frayer at 149 pounds, Josh Lambrecht at 184 pounds, and Leonce Crump at Heavyweight earned gold medals.    The Cowboys, disappointed with their second place team finish, also garnered three individual titles.  Skyler Holman at 125, Johnny Thompson at 133, and Ty Wilcox at 184 captured gold medals.  Wilcox was the impropable champion coming from the #5 seed to end a long streak of losses by winning three straight today.  Finishing second for the Cowboys was Shane Roller at 157, Tyrone Lewis at 165, Pat Popolizio at 184, and James Huml at Heavyweight.      The Cyclones of Iowa State finished third in the team standings.  "We wrestled to our seeds in most places, but we weren't able to get the upsets we needed", cited Chris Bono Assistant Coach.  Aaron Holker, a former All-American for the defunct BYU program avenged an early season pin against J.P. Reese of Missouri with a fall of his own to take the gold.  Holker said, "I got nervous close to the start of the match, but once I got on top I knew I could turn him."    Joe Heskett at 165 pounds beat Tyrone Lewis of OSU for the gold.  Heskett and Lewis are the #1 and #2 rated wrestlers nationally.        Cael Sanderson extended his consecutive streak to 154 matches in route to another outstanding wrestler award.  Sanderson dismantled Scott Barker of Missouri in the finals with a technical fall.  Shrugging off the view that Sanderson looks bored wrestling at the collegiate level Cael replied, "definitely not.  I'm most excited about wrestling when I'm not thinking about it in a match when everything just seems to flow."      Iowa State captured  a silver medal at 149 pounds where Billy Maldanado fell to Frayer.    Nebraska came from behind late in the day to pass Missouri in the team standings.  The Huskers lone champion was Bryan Snyder of Easton, PA.  Snyder noted that he would like to have a few more Huskers wrestling well down the stretch with him.  "Learn to walk alone, and you'll never be lonely," was Snyder's comment on the Huskers tough day.  "Regardless of how many guys make the trip to Albany, I plan on wrestling well."      Missouri was unable to capture any individual titles.  The Tigers had two runner-up placers.  J.P. Reese at 141 and Scott Barker at 197 placed second.  "We had higher hopes than this, but we didn't get it done," stated Brian Smith, Head Coach of the Tigers.      Six wildcards were voted out of the Big 12 to wrestle in Albany at the NCAA Championships.  Jerrod Sanders, OSU, at 149 pounds; Tyron Woodley, Missouri, at 165 pounds; Nick Passalano, ISU, at 174 pounds; Tony Denke, NU, at 174 pounds, Will Gruenwald, OSU, at 197 pounds; and Justin Ruiz, NU, at 197 pounds were voted wildcard bids by the coaches.      "It's never easy to leave good wrestlers behind.  The first three wrestlers were unanimous but after that it wasn't," stated Spates.  Spates declined to say which wrestlers were selected first.
